The main component of the courtship is energetic and showy flight. Besides looping and zigzag patterns, males will fly anywhere from 50 to 150 feet up into the air, then plummet straight down to the ground, pulling up just before impact.

Other displays male hummingbirds engage in to win a mate include singing, showing off their feathers (especially in the sunlight) and flapping their wings as fast as possible to create the loudest humming sound they can.

The name “hummingbird” comes from the slight hum noise created by their rapidly beating wings. They’re so light that it would take around 150 hummingbirds to make up a single pound.

The average lifespan of hummingbirds is around 3 to 5 years. Hummingbirds begin mating and reproducing when they are one year old.
